Today on The Modern Homeschool Podcast, I’m debunking five widely circulated myths about homeschooling. Most of the lure surrounding homeschooling hinges on the unknown and I am here today to tell you- most of it is myth.
- Myth #1: Homeschoolers never leave their homes.
- Myth#2: Homeschoolers are socially inept. Not true, take a closer listen on my socialization episode here: https://themodernhomeschool.com/podcast/homeschool-and-socialization-the-truth/
- Myth #3: Homeschoolers are behind academically. Generally untrue, homeschoolers tend to score higher on all testing metrics and often study a grade or two ahead.
- Myth #4: Homeschoolers have less opportunities for socialization and activities.
- Myth #5: Homeschoolers can’t get into college. Many sought after universities are looking for independent, bright minded homeschoolers.

Did you know that homeschooling is currently the fastest growing form of education?
With nearly five million homeschoolers in America today, I hope that my listeners will gain inspiration, research and new ways to implement education with their children in natural and intentional ways. I want to offer solutions to the many challenging problems our youth faces today. I want to unify home educators and parents from around the world.
